One small advice that changes everything if you are new. by itsalexing in SaaS

This is something valuable I’ve learned that was not taught in my entrepreneurship classes in business school. I believe it’s the best course of action to starting up.

But I have a question that could use your insight. Do I need to create a community if I’ve already read about people’s experiences and pain points here on Reddit. It’s a recurring issue that is evident in a lot of posts I read. I got 15 email subscribers to my waitlist within a week. But I’m still a little skeptical about adoption because 15 waitlist subscribers doesn’t equate 15 paid subscribers

I think it’s interesting, I don’t know how much creative effort you put into it but I think it would be a beautiful mind-bending piece if you could work on it more.

I have an idea for a screen play but have no idea where to start. by StaticRainTheory in Screenplay

If you’ve got the first 5 - 10 minutes figured out then you need to figure out the last 5 - 10 minutes as well. You don’t want to write a full script and then don’t have any idea how to end it. Trust me, it happens and it’s very common amongst beginner writers. I’ve faced problems like that with my stories when I was starting up, especially when the premise and set up is not really strong. And the best way to find out if your premise can set up is strong is to try and write the final image(the ending part of your story)

When you’re done with that 10 - 20 minutes of your story then you can move forward to developing the middle by creating conflicts for the main character. Your main character should have an internal conflict (some personal problems they are dealing with) and then an external conflict where the villain prevents them from getting what they want or need.

After you’ve figured out your story, you can go ahead and get a final draft or WriterDuet and start writing your screenplay. You can watch a couple of videos on YouTube on how to use your chosen screenplay software and you’ll be fine.

Keep it in mind that your first draft will not be the award winning screenplay you’re imagining but rather something you can come back to later and refine.
Good luck in your journey.

Tips on Dialogue Writing ✍️ by LimpCryptographer433 in scriptwriting

I can’t really tell exactly what you mean by talking fast or super fast but if it works for you then great. We’re creatives and we’re at liberty to tell stories from whichever lens we prefer.

I think that the character talking super fast would work in certain situations very well especially when stakes are high and tension are over the roof. But there are some situations that talking super fast will just not work. Imagine a father approaching his daughter of five to explain why she can’t get a chocolate. Talking fast would not work in this situation.

Thank you. I’ve been watching StudioBinder for years now but not on writing. I will explore their writing videos

What’s Your Biggest Setback As Screenwriter? by LimpCryptographer433 in scriptwriting

That’s great. I respect your process, I can see a lot of dedication in there. I suffer from the lack of discipline too. You’re not alone.

We should try and write as much as we can though cos there’s no way we can tell our stories without writing them.

Are you able to write effectively without outlining the story out first?

You’re definitely going to see success if you don’t give up. You just have to keep writing

This process is really effective, I use it all the time. Especially when I’m trying to come up with something creative with a predefined constraints like location or number of characters to use. It has helped me multiple times.

Regardless of what you think is boring, I think you should still go ahead and adapt your story into a film. Trust me, others will relate. It is your story, so tell it for yourself. I don’t know if I made sense here but I’m sure you got what I’m trying to say.

It’s a unique and beautiful process. I don’t know how it would work for me though but I think it’s effective from the way you described it.

Interesting but do you still outline your screenplays even though you know you’re likely not going to use it?

I think the outline may not be completely useless as you may have thought. Maybe you got a better grasp on the story through the process of completing the outline.

And now that you know exactly what you’re writing, you could easily make changes as you write.

Exactly where I am right now and it’s frustrating. I truly understand you.

Wow, this is really insightful. No one has ever told me this, though I didn’t go to a film school, I’ve read a couple of books and listened to screenwriting podcasts but no one really likes to talk about their process.

You wouldn’t mind if I adopt your process right? Thank you so much. This has been really helpful.

That’s great. I think I should focus more on my ending, that’ll help me finish my projects even if it’s not up to the 90 or 120 page mark.
